Minister of Manpower and Immigration Nahed Ashri said on Wednesday that three recruitment companies have had their accredited status cancelled over malpractices.

According to Ashri, the companies which export domestic workers have violated the labor law and ministerial decrees.

Meantime, she revoked the suspension of two licenses after the companies legalized their status.

Under the law, the minister is entitled to temporarily freeze a labor provider in case a violation was proven.
